• The storm moved generally to the southwest or west, gradually intensifying off Western Australia. – I think just "moved generally to the southwest" would suffice here

• Fair enough. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:37, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

• On 8 April, Olivia intensified into a severe tropical cyclone... – link STC to Tropical cyclone scales#Australia and Fiji

• Ack, good call. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:37, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

• Every house in Pannawonica sustained some damage, many of them being. – I think you forgot to finish this sentence...just a hunch

• Hmm, I have no idea! Removed :) ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:37, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

• +1 for adding some preps this time around!

• WHOO!! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:37, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Meteorological history

• A surge in the trade winds interacted with the monsoon trough to produce an area of convection. – Need some sort of date here, even if it's just a month (year will also need to be included)

• Eek, yea, otherwise that's extremely random. Thanks :) ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:37, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

• Shortly thereafter, the BoM upgraded the system to a Category 1 cyclone – TC scales link needed here

• Added. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:37, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

• ... JTWC to upgrade it to a Category 1 equivalent on the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale (SSHS), estimating 1 minute sustained winds of 120 km/h (75 mph). – Need to mention that JTWC uses one-minute winds around here, rather than when it reaches its peak

• Striking mistake on my part. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 21:37, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

• Around the same time, the BoM upgraded Olivia to a severe tropical cyclone, assessing similar wind speeds. – same as above, but for BoM and ten-minute winds

• I added "assessing similar wind speeds but sustained over 10 minutes." Does that work? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:37, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

• By 9 April, the system attained Category 4 intensity as it continued to strengthen. – BoM or JTWC? (source is to BoM, but it needs to be specified)

• Thanks, clarified. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:37, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Impact and aftermath

• I rejiggered the section headers to split off the "Records" section, hopefully this isn't an issue~

• It looks perfect! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:37, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

• Olivia also produced gusts of 267 km/h (166 mph) at Varanus Island, which was the highest wind gust on record in Australia, until the higher reading on Barrow Island was confirmed. – Might be worth specifying that the higher reading was from Olivia—even though it should be super obvious given the opening sentence of the article—just to be extra sure.

• "until the higher reading on Barrow Island during the storm was confirmed." - that work? Good call on clarifying. Any records need to be very specific. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:37, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

• Throughout the small town, 55 houses lost their roof and another 27 were damaged. – If that accounts for every home in Pannawonica, I'd suggest rewording it to "Of the 82 houses in the small town, 55 lost their roof." (just to avoid some slight redundancy)

• Perfect. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:37, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Solid article all around and rather close to being promoted. Should be an easy fix so I'm putting it on-hold for the time being. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 12:36, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

• Thanks so much! I appreciate the thorough review. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:37, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

• Everything looks good now, passing the article. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 21:37, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
